Listing Found on Hasbro Pulse for Shattered Glass Blurr

Is it also possible that the "Goldbug" from that same group of new listings is actually Shattered Glass Goldbug?

Yes.

More Shattered Glass? Yes please.

It's not my are of interest, but I find it odd that for so long, Hasbro seemingly purposefully avoided the plethora of inexpensive repaints they could get from SG, and I guess now they are all in knowing that a contingent of fans want this. They'll definitely be making a ton of easy money on this.

Changes in brand teams and leadership positions have happened over the years.

I missed out on the Shattered Glass Optimus and Ratchet set, and there probably isn't a place in my collection for any Shattered Glass stuff anyway (I'd probably have to either buy another Detolf or get rid of my Studio Series toys to make room for them), but it's nice to see the Shattered Glass universe get some more love, especially considering how easy an opportunity for repaints it brings.
For the other stuff, that Sideswipe and Nightprowler set sounds tempting. I had never heard of Nightprowler before seeing this news so I had to look it up, but snow leopards are one of my favourite big cats and I like the sound of a snow leopard version of the Cheetor mould. An Earth-mode Sideswipe (assuming that's what it is) would be nice to have too, but I've got Hot Rod now, so I'm not sure if I really need a second red sports car Autobot.

Maybe they'll recolor all the unsold Studio Series Blurr figures.....

That is pretty much what I was thinking. I know that 2021 SS and Kingdom were basically the last line Warden was team lead on, but similar to how his team started very late on T30. I think some of the new teams influence can be seen starting with the SG ER Prime and Ratchet, and will obviously carry on moving forward. I know in fiction some SG Combiners do exist, but I hope hasbro doesn't go there, at least nto for a while. Although I do have a couple SG characters as components of my combiners, redoing many of them in SG would definitely be detrimental to my wallet, also since there are several characters that haven't recieved proper updating yet, before they go to the deep deep well of every character in SG.

Most likely a redeco of Netflix Bumblebee. I mean WHY should they already make a new mold?

Well they didnt use the mold for bugbite when they should have and if it really is aSG version, meaning Evil, then there was no excuse for bugbite not to have been a reuse of Netflix Bee. Plus Goldbug should be a different mold to Bee anyways unless they were being lazy and using the name for a shiny G2 Bee.

IGN just leaked it all lmao!!!

Oh, god, my wallet!


Edit: By all, I'm assuming this stuff was supposed to be revealed Friday during the Transformers portion of the show.

Probably, The Ark was always a for sure purchase for me, BW Scorponok will be cool for fans of that Character. While this definitely is leaked from the Friday reveal, I hope that is not "All". This is just 3 toys (2 of which are first time new pics) among dozens that are being talked about.

I'm hoping we see most of not all of wave 3 & 4 of Kingdom, and definitely more SS

Nice! The Ark is looking good!

Well, the Ark is sweet and kinda looks like tidal wave in some areas. Not one I planned to get but it is looking like a must. Galvatron still looks garbage and Scorponok is a must by the looks of him.

Those three reveals are better off being discussed in the Kingdom thread

Very Last Autobotty!

Damn, I wish we were getting the Nemesis too.

Oh dear, that Scorponok doesn't look very good. It may just be the angle he's positioned in robot mode, but the legs looks far too small for the rest of his body, and he seems a bit too top-heavy. Still, it's nice that he still has his bee drone in his claw.

Night Prowler? Interesting

So they just left the sides of the Ark uncovered in ship mode? The robot legs are visible. Fail. And the rear end is also not accurate. Most art and fiction depicts the ship with 5 boosters and no split in the middle. The G1 comics had that design, but that Ark was metallic silver, not yellow. I'm probably going to preorder it, but I'm not all that impressed. It has some very visible flaws.

Lunatic Prime wrote:And if It's an Earth mode Sideswipe?

Wouldn't likely change it for me, I just have no interest in G1 Sideswipe.

And alt mode. And weapons. It's kind of in between G1 and Bayverse Optimus Prime.

Oh right, he was a different truck and he had the swords, and he is Optimus so I guess it was inevitable that Hasbro would do him anyway...hopefully he at least comes with the Star Saber or some other cool show-based accessories.

I wonder which molds that Megatron and Starscream will be...

Rumors say ER Megatron and Siege Screamer, but I guess we'll have to see what actually happens.

Maybe green with orange stripes (just wishful thinking again).

That would look...absolutely ridiculous, I love it.

The WHAT
That's a new rumor to me. What does that version of the character look like?

I believe one of the leakers mentioned it as being on the table but they didn't know if it was happening or not, and from the context of when it was mentioned it would be a purple wireframe deco to depict the Megatron/Galvatron reformat from the movie.

Emerje wrote:Just read the Kingdom topic and realized "Galvatron Unicron" may actually be referring to Unicron Trilogy and this is the Galvatron with extra parts to look like Energon Galvatron that was mentioned by leakers a while back. Guess that explains the higher than normal Leader price point ($110AUD compared to $85AUD or whatever).

Emerje

...if it's actually this, I would be VERY happy.

Wait wait, is SG Blurr originally using that Armada Blurr mold? Because that one blows hard.
Makes you think though, is mold choice important for the SG releases? Like can it just be whatever mold is out for that character now and have it painted SG or should it resemble the mold that was initially used when coming up with the SG character?

william-james88 wrote:Wait wait, is SG Blurr originally using that Armada Blurr mold? Because that one blows hard.

Cybertron Blurr.

Given the leakers have been specifying the leaked SG Megatron is supposed to be using the ER Megatron mold, despite original SG Megatron's reuse of the Energon Megatron mold being one of the few mold choices FunPub made for the original SG toys that the character really owned and made their own, I'm guessing yeah, all the upcoming SG releases will just reuse whatever their normal counterpat's most recent mold is.

Yeah yeah, but it's an armada mold, it's what I meant. I forgot who had it in armada.

Also Blurr, but with a less G1 color scheme and head.

Thanks. Sabr, that was a rather pointless correction then.

I mean, come on

I forgot that they reused that mold in Cybertron. Imagine if Hasbro was sneaky enough to try and use the same mold in subsequent years *looks at Siege Sideswipe and Siege Megatron* never mind...

But yeah, unless hasbro is hiding a very big ace up it's sleeve regarding the molds for this Shattered Glass line, I just going to be Redecos (and maybe slight retools) of characters out currently. I suspect this will be reflected in the IDW book as well, assuming it's not going to be reprinting FunPub content.

Not only this, but didn't they already confirm they will just use the most current mold for that character with SG Ratchet already?

It used the specific Cybertron retooling that wasn't on the original Armada version.

If it is Earth Mode Sideswipe, I wish it was a retail release instead of an exclusive

I’m personally hoping the toy’s name is literally “Another Blurr.”

As long as the next Bumblebee is named "Yet another Bumblebee"

The belief is that VW wouldn't allow their Beetle to be used as a villain so Bugbite had to be the Cliffjumper body with Bee's head. I'm guessing SG Goldbug will also use the CJ body, but I wonder if the Bee mold has a proper Goldbug head built into it the same way CJ gave us Hubcap. SG Goldbug wasn't a Beetle anyway.



Hopefully a proper G1 Goldbug happens sooner than later, we're long overdue for one.

Looking at this picture it might be a retool/redeco of SS86 Hot Rod or the upcoming Earth mode Sideswipe.

Project Bat could be a toy based on the basic class Optimus Primal, who turned into a bat. It would be a pretty easy retool from Airazor, and unlike Terrorsaur, it would work perfectly, as he had basically the same transformation as her. Basically just an aesthetic retool, all of the engineering could remain the same.

Several people within the community have contacted us regarding new listings found at Target and Walmart. Some of these were in apps so there is no actual link yet but we wanted to share it all with you none the less. We broke it down between Target and Walmart with the Target listings assumed to be regarding exclusives only. The problem with some of these listings is that they just give the name of the character, so we have no idea what line is would be for. We also have loads of Cyberverse listings so brace yourselves to see many more of that line on your shelves in the fall.

Interesting. I'd assume the "origins" Bumblebee is the rumored cybertronian saucer Bee from the G1 cartoon. I don't know what "movie power charge" Bee could be, though. Maybe the AoE '67 Camaro? Seems like an odd name if that's the case. Maybe it's related to the upcoming Cyberverse movie?

As for Prime and Megatron, reissues come to mind first, but reissues of what I have no idea.

It's part of Buzzworthy so it's a redeco of a previously released toy. Most probably from the Studio Series line

Hmmmm...if I were charged with renaming toys for the Buzzworthy line, "Movie Power Charge Bumblebee" would seem like a reasonable description of an Energon Ignitor Bee.

I'm guessing Bee movie VW mold in better colors which would be good for me because I finally decided I want one, but I don't like the current color options.

Definitely want that Warrior Dead End, hope it's good.

I doubt Optimus and Megatron are reissues (not vintage ones anyway) since it's Target and that isn't really their thing, it's Walmart's. Maybe repainted SS DotM figures since they're both Leader priced?

Good point about Prime and Megs.

But haven't all the Buzzworthy redecos/reissues used the same names as the original releases? Plus core Bee and RotF Bee were both new/early releases.

Interesting that this calls out Road Rage as a Kingdom Deluxe rather than a Selects release like she had been rumored to be for months now. If that's accurate, hopefully that means she'll potentially get some actual retooling compared to Tracks which she wouldn't have been able to get as a Selects figure, and maybe her assumed Selects spot will go to Loudpedal (or Nightprowler, if he isn't actually in that Amazon set).

Count me in the camp that thinks that Deluxe Origins Bee might be the rumored G1 Saucer Bee, between said figure's existence being rumored by multiple credible sources, the fact that the listing is marked as Generations but not Studio Series, and just because I highly doubt Hasbro would make the arrangement and/or be allowed to make the arrangement to have Netflix Bee be a Walmart exclusive and then immediately give the same figure in different packaging as an exclusive to a different/rival store not even a year later, that just doesn't seem like a likely scenario to me.

It was only a Walmart exclusive because it was a convenient place for Hasbro to release it, not because Walmart asked for new Bumblebee figure that only they could use. I doubt Walmart would care if the mold was used elsewhere as long as it isn't a straight repackage. The mold is due for a second use and it definitely won't be used for Shattered Glass Goldbug. Though I also don't think it'll be a part of the Buzzworthy line either, I think Hasbro is more likely to either squeeze it into Kingdom as a slightly repainted Bee or use it in the next line. If the next line is really going to be "Evolution" then what better place to put a Goldbug figure?

Emerje

This is that Power Charge Bumblebee:

It's unfortunate Target is continuing the Buzzworthy line, because that's all that my local Target stores want to stock now. It's been months since they've had any Kingdom voyager or leader class. So much empty space, and just BB stuff that sits unsold. It's almost like what walmart did with MOTU. Tons of He-Man and Skeletor just warming pegs.

Hopefully Road Rage is easier to get than Thrust.

From what other people say, sounds like it's just your local area. Target wouldn't continue with it unless it sold, so it must be selling. The Real Target audience must love it.

No no. I won't even pretend to argue that that figure is not an absolute BRICK in its bot mode, it has ball joints in its hips it cannot even use because of the thigh shape, but I eill continue to contend that that is one of the best alt modes for Blurr that we have gotten (up there with Animated). Furturistic GOREALLYFAST car mode? ✔. Awesome Hover mode? ✔

I dont really get this statement. When was a Target exclusive in the WFC line more extensively retooled than a Selects toy?

The Cyberverse Dead End and combining figures sound interesting.
